Quotes About Marriage

Because love is a tremendous gift, Maddy. A gift and a burden. Marriage especially is more than just hope and luck and a handshake. Marriage is work, enormous work, because it's a living entity that needs everlasting attention.

I told him that I would not marry him, because we were too young, and I didn't want to fall in love with the idea of love. I wanted actual love, not a looking-glass reflection of it.

If he is earning five hundred rupees you should never earn more than four hundred and ninety nine rupees.That's the only rule to follow if you want a happy marriage...No partnership can ever be equal.It will always be unequal, but take care it is unequal in favor of the husband. If the scales tilt in your favor, God help you, both of you.
